review in progress. due to the "history" this game has i am going to document my progress each time i play:

3/15/21 - about 3 hours in and 50% through sonic's route. very janky and glitchy but definitely not unplayable. stages tend to feel aimless but they can also be great (e.g. crisis city.) the silver fight was madly overhyped, but the bosses are shit in general. overall mediocre so far. worst thing is the excessive load times

3/18/21 - two hours later. i think i'm one mission away from finishing sonic's route? the load times are really fucking bad, but '06 itself still ranges from being a little aimless to genuinely fun. i thought tropical jungle was pretty good. the three trials can go to hell however. also controlling silver is hilariously futile and i'm kinda looking forward to his campaign because of it

4/1/21 - beat sonic's route. last stage is pretty mid. not else much to say. the most egregious thing about this session was experiencing aristo's challenge and the 600 loading screens that followed

so far it's more entertaining than sonic 3

not as high a bar as it sounds on first glance.

Godspeed, Chandler.

whoever designed aristo's guessing game shit and decided it'd be ok to shove no less than 10 loading screens into it could probably be convicted of a war crime

Any update on this?

@takumi haven't booted it up since, but i've heard the other routes are the truly terrible ones so i'll need to get there sooner than later

Fair lmao, not like there's much to look forward to considering how infamous Silver's side of the story is, at least Shadow has the most interesting story side to fair up with the button mashing

fwiw, shadow controls the best of 06's cast. Not a high bar. But it's there.

@takumi i'm actually looking most forward to silver's campaign because of how hilariously futile his mechanics felt in the brief time i got to play as him during sonic's run
